| Flannel | Anyone in here have experience dealing with printed stuff? We're trying to get a banner printed, and are worried about colors turning out wildly different than on screen, wondered how we might go about minimizing that risk | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| Flannel | Or, if anyone wants to give suggestions (only two background colors!) I'd be happy to get input, that way I can blam^H^H^H^Hthank you later. We're just a little short on time making our final decision (45 minutes!) | 00:16 |
| knome | Flannel, do a test print? ;) | 00:29 |
| knome | Flannel, are you printing it locally or sending it to some print shop? | 00:29 |
| Flannel | My printer isn't the best with colors, but yeah, it looks like a mixture of my two monitors | 00:30 |
| knome | okay. maybe make a sample image with all the colors you are using *a lot*, do test prints and adjust the colors as needed | 00:30 |
| knome | then print a small copy of the complete banner to see if all the colors are okay | 00:30 |
| Flannel | We've got a guy whos at a school where they have a big printer, so he's printing through that. He's going to try and get a proof before the real thing, and then give a yay or nay | 00:31 |
| knome | okay. | 00:31 |
| knome | if you were sending it to a print shop, they possibly could make sure the colors were right if you gave them some pantone color numbers. | 00:31 |
| knome | but it's of course differenet if someone not-so-experienced is printing it | 00:32 |
| knome | the best way really is to use time to print some test/sample versions. | 00:33 |
| Flannel | Well, we're not really trying to match anything in particular, it's just two tannish background colors, we just don't want them turning out really red or really yellow | 00:33 |
| knome | :) | 00:33 |
| knome | yeah. | 00:33 |
| Flannel | but yeah, know what you're saying, agree, just... don't have that luxury I don't think. | 00:33 |
| knome | i see. | 00:33 |
| knome | hehe | 00:33 |

| ckontros | macvr: So the 48px PNGs need to be in scalable/ ? The won't work in 48x48? | 13:02 |
| macvr | ckontros: yup... when the user changes the font size , the size of the notify-osd changes , at that time the scalable icons are needed | 13:03 |
| macvr | you can have simlinks from the 48px in the scalable/ | 13:04 |
| ckontros | macvr: That's what we'll do. I have to talk to kwwii to see if a better solution can be found. | 13:06 |
| macvr | kwwii: ping | 13:07 |
| ckontros | Because PNGs in scalable/ just drive my OCD insane. | 13:07 |
| ckontros | And, it's a bug if their path is hard-coded like that. | 13:09 |
| macvr | ;p | 13:10 |
| macvr | ckontros: any size larger, than 48px will *not* display well in the notify-osd , because the bug #393797 | 13:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 393797 in notify-osd "Feature request : improve the resizing algorithm" [Wishlist,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/393797 | 13:10 |
| ckontros | "Fix committed" So maybe we should get the other sizes in there. | 13:10 |
| ckontros | Will be funny for anything other that Karmic but that's my target. | 13:11 |
| macvr | ckontros: the commit isnt good either , the best rescale algorithm deosnt do any justice tot he icons/images | 13:11 |
| macvr | they just end up blurry/loose color... | 13:12 |
| ckontros | macvr: I *think* I'd rather do things correctly in the set and let the notify-osd guys work things out. I'm not usually happy with work-arounds. | 13:13 |
| macvr | its nore of the proper algorithm still doesnt exist in Ubuntu | 13:13 |
| macvr | more^ | 13:13 |
| macvr | its not the notify-osd fault , its just the os dosen have good rescale algorithms' | 13:14 |
| ckontros | Still, not our bug. And I doubt is an OS thing. Just a lib thing most likely. | 13:14 |
| macvr | nope , not our bug... i didnt think so either but mpt said it was more of the OS | 13:15 |
| macvr | ckontros: i just noticed something... the 22px , how are they made? | 13:16 |
| ckontros | *Everything* is rendered with Inkscape via a script in trunk. | 13:17 |
| macvr | they 22px just seems to cut 1px around the 24px , this just cut the nm-icon in the 22px, i wan to edit it, shall i send the edit in a couple of hrs? | 13:17 |
| macvr | ckontros: ^ | 13:18 |
| ckontros | macvr: Give me a couple of mins. I'll clean up the branches and approve your membership on the condition that you upload no new icons. | 13:19 |
| ckontros | Ok? | 13:19 |
| macvr | ckontros: i wont dare... ;p | 13:19 |
| ckontros | macvr: You've used BZR correct? | 13:20 |
| macvr | i'v just used it to download the icon set | 13:20 |
| ckontros | Oh. So no actual uploading? | 13:20 |
| ckontros | Hmm... Maybe it will be best to just send me the revision. | 13:21 |
| macvr | ckontros: NO... i dont have a bzr account | 13:21 |
| ckontros | You just need a LP account and to be on the team. | 13:21 |
| macvr | i have the lp ;p , but no bzr , so i dont think i can tinker the icon trunk | 13:22 |
| ckontros | There's no "BZR" account. | 13:22 |
| ckontros | You just need top be added to the team. | 13:22 |
| ckontros | *to be | 13:23 |
| macvr | ckontros: oh... ok.. dont worry , i wont any icons , i'm not that crazy | 13:23 |
| macvr | wont add^ | 13:24 |
| ckontros | macvr: So in trunk, all that needed fixing is emblem-important correct? | 13:25 |
| ckontros | (and removing the blank icons) | 13:26 |
| macvr | i found that error, let me check for anything else | 13:26 |
| ckontros | I fixed the spelling in the layer name. | 13:27 |
| macvr | which icon? | 13:27 |
| ckontros | emblem-important | 13:27 |
| macvr | i dont see anything else that needs fixing | 13:33 |
| ckontros | nm. I was mistaken. In any case, it's in the set now and blank items removed. Uploading now. | 13:35 |
| ckontros | macvr: Ok. Both branches should be in sync and you are approved. I will be a little scarce today but might be able to attend to minor things later but most likely tomorrow night. | 13:41 |
| ckontros | bbl | 13:42 |
| macvr | ckontros: just a min... | 13:42 |
| ckontros | I must run. Quickly | 13:42 |
| macvr | the 22px fixes , when do you want it? | 13:42 |
| ckontros | ASAP. | 13:42 |
| macvr | ckontros: just asked since you said you want be avail today... | 13:43 |
| ckontros | Honestly, I don't understand the issue and don't have the time now. I gotta jet. bbl | 13:43 |
| macvr | ok bye | 13:43 |
| psyke83 | kwwii: hey. What do you think about reducing the gtkbutton size for the theme? It makes sense, especially since lots of users use netbooks nowadays. Take a look at the before/after: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7597314&postcount=37 | 15:35 |
| psyke83 | (never mind, will write the suggestion on the list so you can reply to it at your leisure ;)) | 15:46 |
